It was like something straight out of a wrestling arena.
Friday saw the French U-20 team suffer their first defeat at the Six Nations, losing 22-6 to England, but during a particularly trying scrum, things ended with a shocking tackle by the French side.
Two of the French players, Hassane Kolingar and Pierre-Henry Azagoh, effectively picked up English player Fraser Dingwall, and pile-driver’d him out of the scrum and into the pitch.

More angles of the France U20 double red card. Not good. Notice that France prop Daniel Brennan instantly puts his head in his hands. pic.twitter.com/SipeDDriWU

The tackle resulted in both the players instantly receiving a red card from the referee, and some viewers are expecting further repercussions to their actions.
Hassane Kolingar and Pierre-Henry Azagoh are the two French players. Sounds like the England player Fraser Dingwall is OK. pic.twitter.com/FAbPsfwsEU
